20100055244 | SPORE SURFACE DISPLAYS OF BIOACTIVE MOLECULES - This invention discloses novel bacterial spore systems. It has now been found surprisingly that under certain conditions bacterial spore systems can be used in the food and feed industry, preferably in animal feeding and as biohybrid material. More precisely applicant has found the following: Genetically modified or genetically engineered viable spore systems expressing bioactive polypeptides, for example bacteriocins and/or enzymatically active feed enzymes, at the spore surface, have a great potential use in animal feeding. Further, it has been found that genetically modified or “genetically engineered inert spore systems expressing affinity ligands or immobilized enzymes at the surface have a great potential use in biocatalysis and in the construction of biocatalytic films. Especially the resistance to harsh chemicals, desiccation, strong pressure, or high temperatures allows the spores to be a potentially valuable tool for the display of bioactive molecules, like biocatalytic enzymes or bioactive feed enzymes that must survive harsh conditions to deliver their full potential. Finally, applicant has found that instead of translational fusions to spore structural genes as it is known from the prior art described above, passenger bioactive polypeptides, as for example enzymes, bacteriocins, affinity ligands, can also be fused to spore-specific surface enzymes, for example to spore specific enzymes as mentioned herein above. | 03-04-2010 |

20160096515 | ROLLING DISTANCE DETECTION SYSTEM AND STRATEGY FOR VEHICLE - A vehicle includes a tone wheel having a plurality of encoding members spaced substantially evenly about a periphery thereof. Each tone wheel is rotates with an associated wheel. A fixed speed sensor is mounted adjacent to each tone wheel. The vehicle includes a brake system. A method determines a travel distance between adjacent encoding members. A required rolling distance of a vehicle from standstill is established. Maximum allowed interrupts per wheel is established, with an interrupt defined as each instance an encoding member passes an associated speed sensor. It is determined whether the vehicle is actually rolling from standstill. Once the vehicle is actually rolling, a number of interrupts is counted at each wheel. When the maximum allowed interrupts is counted at each wheel, the brake system is supplied with pressure increase to return the vehicle to, and hold the vehicle at, standstill prior to reaching the required rolling distance. | 04-07-2016 |
